ARCHIVED Emeril Lagasse's gluten-free Pizza Crust
Cam's Mom posted a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Emeril Lagasse has a show on the Plaet Green Network called Emeril Green. He has done several shows with full gluten-free menus. This was from one of them. I have tried every pre-made pizza crust including the famous "still riding" and Dr. Scharr's. And for homemade we usually use the NY foldable crust recipe from this site or the Chebe recipe. But This one... -
ARCHIVED Just Curious! But What Do You Eat For Breakfast?
Cam's Mom replied to TiredofTums's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I am always arguing with my 8 year old twins about this. They are like whaaaaaaat's for breakfast??? There's nothing we can have. I'm like oh booo-hooo cry me a river . . . what CAN'T you have? They are lucky not to have any other intolerances other than gluten (although dd is also a type1 diabetic). Here are the menu choices at Chez Short Order: Any... -
ARCHIVED Question About Tortillas...
Cam's Mom replied to JanieInCanada's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I think I have posted my tortilla recipe before, but here it is again. These are by far the best tortillas I have ever had - gluten-free or not!! They take a little work and patience, but if you've got a little over an hour to spend you should be able to get about 16 large tortillas out of the recipe. They freeze well. I usually put 8 in a gallon zip lock... -
ARCHIVED Need Help With My Daughter
Cam's Mom replied to Guhlia's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
My son is now 8 1/2 years old and when he hits the third percentile on the weight chart we cheer - it's the heighest he's ever gotten. He's often been off the bottom of the chart. He's so skinny that we lose him when he stands sideways. We've tried absolutely everything to bulk this kid up (and he does not have nearly the restrictions that your daughter has... -
ARCHIVED Pasta Recipe Any Good?
Cam's Mom replied to songstressc's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Hi! I posted a recipe about a week ago for home made ravioli. The recipe is in 2 parts, the first being (egg) pasta and the second being the filling. The pasta certainly works on its own. If you dig back about a week on this forum you should find it. If not, feel free to PM me and I will send it to you. barb -
Hi! I am not a huge fan of protein shakes but finally found one that I like - Whey Factors by Natural Factors (from Canada). I am trying to get my protien intake up and so am forcing myself to get two of these shakes in per day. My stomach is not pleased (and neither is my family for that matter). The label says that the product contains "no wheat" but I...

I use a ravioli press that looks...

ARCHIVED Want The Answer To Your Tortilla Prayers?
Cam's Mom replied to Cam's Mom's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
You could certainly use breadstick mix instead of the pizza mix. The only one I would adjust for is if you decide to use the "plain" Chebe that comes in the red bag. That one contains dry milk and the others do not. So I guess if I were going to use that one, I'd use water instead of milk in the final product - but I have not tried it. I have however used... -
